Saturday 2.28.09 104 days ago, tiny Jaleah was born and today our little miracle came home! She weighed 1 pound 6 ounces at birth and came home today weighing 6 pounds, 1 ounce. How perfect! To our family, friends, strangers, and silent website readers who have prayed for Jaleah, checked in on her, written words of encouragement, we thank you from ...
Friday 2.27.09 It has been a long week! I had meltdown #2 earlier this week. We were told we had survived the longest down in the west wing - most people are only there a few days before discharge, never more than a week and we were down there for two weeks. It's very accommodating, but the windows are boarded up because of the constructi...
Saturday 2.21.09 Well, today was Jaleah's due date! And I really thought we would be out of here by now, but no such luck. Usually you aren't in the west wing for more than a week before discharge and we are now on day 10. We have seen many other families come into the west wing and leave so it is getting frustrating. I had a bit of a breakdown the...
Sunday 2.15.09 We are so close! Jaleah has been doing really well with her feedings - they've removed her feeding tube. She had a discharge head ultrasound and heart echo and both were great. Last night they did what they call a CR Scan. For 12 hours, it monitors her heart rate and oxygen saturation much like her regular monitor, but it can pick up...
Thursday 2.12.09 A big day here today! We are officially in the "west wing" with her 6 feet away! Her Doctors are pretty impressed with her. They moved her to cue based yesterday and she took 85% of her required amount which I guess is really good for the first day, so they actually changed her to "ad lib" today. So she takes as much or as little a...
Thursday 2.5.09 Well, it's been a while since I've updated but there really isn't anything all that new. She is on the lowest possible oxygen, but still has not been able to come off of it all together without dropping her stats. Right now her biggest thing is still working on her feedings. She doesn't open her mouth wide enough a lot of the time a...
Tuesday 1.27.09 Jaleah is doing great! She was doing really well on the low flow nasal cannula, so yesterday they tried moving her to the wall oxygen. This is the oxygen she would go home on, if need be. Some preemies need just a little bit; they don't anticipate that she will need to, but you never know. The oxygen she was on before was a mixure o...
Thursday 1.22.09 Jaleah is doing great. She's back on the low flow oxygen. This is the lowest one and has been the one that she has only lasted a couple days on at a time. Hopefully this time is the magic one and she'll soon be able to come off oxygen all together. Today, her nurse tried her off of oxygen, but she dropped her oxygen saturations. Sh...
Monday 1.19.09 I was thinking this morning how so many things change in 7 years. It was 7 years ago today that my dad passed away - I still miss him every day and I wish Jaleah had the chance to know him. I find comfort in knowing that he watches over her when we can't be there - I just feel it! ....Well, Jaleah turned 2 months old last Friday and ...

We are just checking in as usual to see how things are going. We are so glad to hear that you are almost home. It's been quite the journey for all of you. It's just wonderful how well Jaleah is doing. The pictures are great. Thanks for keeping us up-dated on Jaleahs progress.
